Question:

Receipe for the brine for canning green tomatoes.?


I love fried green tomatoes. Fresh ones seem really tart. I have eaten them canned and like them much better. I was wondering if I sliced them and put them in the same brine that you can them with for a few days if it would remove the tartness. Does anyone know the receipe for the brine or a way to make them less tart?

1 1/2 quarts peeled, small, yellow, green and/or red tomatoes (about 2 pounds)
1 tablespoon mixed pickling spices
1 (1/2-inch) piece gingerroot
4 cups granulated sugar
2 lemons, thinly sliced, unpeeled
3/4 cup water

Wash and drain tomatoes. Do not core tomatoes. Tie spices and
gingerroot in a spice bag. Combine spice bag, sugar, lemon and
water in a large saucepot.

Simmer 15 minutes. Add tomatoes; cook gently until tomatoes become
transparent, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. Remove from
heat.

Cover and let stand 12 to 18 hours in a cool place. Remove spice
bag.

Remove tomatoes and lemon from syrup. Boil syrup 2 to 3 minutes
or longer to thicken. Return tomatoes and lemon to syrup; boil 1
minute. Remove from heat. Skim foam if necessary. Ladle hot
preserves into hot jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace. Adjust
two-piece caps. Process 20 minutes in a boiling-water canner.
Yield: about 6 half-pints.
